My Potato, Roasted Garlic, and Carrot Soup

[keljonma]

Hey, this is really serendipitous, but I happened to find a "better way" to roast garlic yesterday. Apparently if you separate the cloves out, and then trim off the bottom hard part, then coat them all in oil (in a bowl) and roast them (won't take as long as the entire head does) you will get a better yield. I am going to try this technique anyway, next time I roast garlic. ETA: You briefly mentioned this as an alternative method in your recipe, but I didn't notice it on first glance.

It is only 9:30 in the morning here and you have now gotten my stomach growling at me!

Yeah, DM, I peel them first all the time. I don't mind peeling garlic, and it does save a bit of time *in the oven*. But quick and easy - throw it in and bake and squoooosh it out works too.

It is lunch time here...3 hrs ahead of you.

Hound dog my butt, that is 90 pounds of potato soup eating pit bull. I got him from a kill shelter when he was a puppy and even at 140 pounds more than him I can not hold him down when he smells keljonma famous spuds and cheese soup.

Yes the picture timing was serendipitous

BTW, keljonma, I am going to make this for dinner...I have all the ingrediants it looks delicious!!

I still have a patch of fingerling potatoes that need to be unearthed and I've been putting it off.

Wow, there's a lot of seredipity on this thread.

The technique is new to me, so I am excited to try it. The other way (where you squeeze the garlic head out) was never very satisfactory for me. LOL I'm a crazy perfectionist, so if I can't get all the lovely garlic out, I am not happy.

 

[keljonma]

Yeah, DM! I want all the garlic too!
